burglary September 20, 2007
Posted by kelvicious in : Uncategorized, house , 2commentsour house was broken into yesterday while we were at work. ”they” took wood from a neighbors porch and made a ladder to our second floor balcony and got in through an open window. they took our computer, ipods, camera, 2 stereos, 50+ dvds, my grandmother’s jewelry, chris’ passport and social security card, and xbox 360. they didn’t hurt the dogs, who were in their pen at the time. they didn’t break anything.we think that they have been watching us from a house that’s being renovated behind our house. watching us, learning our routine. and it’s the only place you can see the window - the only open window in the house - where they got in. and, ya know, even if those guys didn’t do it, i’m sure they could have called up their buddies about this grand opportunity.
the cops came (40 minutes after i called 911), checked the house, took our report. csi pittsburgh came out later and took fingerprints, but they think the burglars wore gloves.
we put fraud alerts on our accounts, stopped payments on our cards, and filed a homeowners claim this afternoon. hollyg was kind enough to bring me smokes and money last night. she’s pretty much the best. my parents stopped over too, since we were all supposed to go to the phipps for the chihuly exhibit. wah!
i’m ok, had some trouble sleeping. feel dirty that someone was in my house. haven’t told my parents that they got my grandma’s jewelry. feel like “they” are coming back. it’s damned creepy.
